Sangha that meets Sundays at 10:00 a.m. in Knoxville, TN.

We generally sit in silent meditation for 30 minutes. Then discuss whatever we are currently reading...on the last Sunday of the month we share food and talk business when appropriate...

A Statement of Intention

30GoodLeaves is a moderated forum. Our intent and purpose is to serve the needs of our members by focusing our postings in this forum on the study and practice of meditation and whatever miscellaneous group business becomes necessary to that end. We strive to avoid discussions that stray from our basic focus, and we especially wish to provide an atmosphere where anyone who is interested, regardless of meditation style, school, or political inclination, can have a place to come together to sit in silence every week.

This basic policy is intended to leave space for anything that might interest our membership, as long as it is directly relevant to the practice of mindfulness and/or meditation. Appropriate postings might include such topics as retreats, workshops, and discussions or readings that have no political or social implications beyond meditation practice. If in doubt about whether a topic is appropriate for this forum, feel free to consult a moderator prior to posting.
